IAM Shop Controls

With access to the IAM Shop, users can request roles and other resources provided by the organization. The process of requesting access to resources is called submitting a Business Request. The IAM Shop application features various controls to accommodate users' needs, as detailed in the table below. Please note that not all users will see all controls, as it depends on their access to the IAM Shop.

Shopping for resources

Users visit the IAM Shop to request resources for which they are eligible or to activate resource assignments they have been preapproved for. This action of requesting access to resources is referred to as creating or submitting a "Business Request." After a Business Request is submitted, EmpowerID routes it for approval according to the Approval Flow policies set up for the specifically requested resource.

...

  1. The user accesses the IAM Shop and filters the available resources to those for which that user is shopping.

  2. The user clicks the Request Access button for a specific resource, which opens a panel with more information about the resource and options for requesting access.
